This is the well-known and upmost hated person in the gym. No matter how many times you tell this prick to go light, they can't help but try to take everybody's head off. They will say "I am going light". Well, if you are going light, why are you loading your hooks up and knocking people left and right with power shots. Hmmmmm.

This type of person always draws their victim into a war, because most people in the gym are too proud to say "Stop hitting me so hard dickhead". I say the best way to deal with this type of animal is to just take your gloves off and walk away if they don't tone it down. Unless you want to have a tear up then fill your boots. It is fun sometimes I must admit but you both have to be on the same page.

2. The "Always kicks you in the knee wanka"

This moron does not take their time in finding range or targets. They just throw their legs all over the show when throwing low kicks so the kick lands on the inside or the outside of the knee which really fucks me off as it hurts like fuck and can injure you quite badly. Luckily though those wankas learn quite quickly to place their kicks better as kicking someone's knees hurts the kicker also.

3. The "Always kicks somebody in the balls wanka"

There's always that person in the gym that kicks somebody in the balls at least once a week. It normally happens when one person throws a body kick then the other person throws a low kick but a bad one and it hits the ball bag area. The culprit of this atrocity normally doesn't rotate their hip enough when they make a low kick which in turn makes it easier for the kick to slide up the legs and catch someone in the bollocks. Not fun. So if that's you, sort your low kicks out you annoying Pratt.

4. The "I have no idea what I am doing wanka".

That person is normally a beginner. I am all for begginers, we were all beginners at some point. But these fuckers are so hard to read what their next move is. You end up getting a pasting from angles you didn't know existed. How the fuck are you supposed to know what move somebody is going to throw if they don't even know themselves. Be careful of these wankas, they can land head kicks out of no where.

5. The "Spars so light you might as well be shadow boxing wanka"

This fucker just wants to touch you like they stroke their cat and shout out "ooooooooway" every time they land a body kick that you let them land. You could basically make a cup of tea and drink it by the time it reached you as they are sparring so slow. This type of sparring is fine but it is usually used in a one for one situation drill, not actually sparring.

So just be careful out there, there's a lot of wankas doing wankerish shit.

My take on sparring is spar to your sparring partners ability. Give advice wherever you can to make your whole team a better unit so in the future you can have great sparring partners all over your gym. So when you come across above wankas tell them they're being wankas and show them how not to be wankas.
